Our take
High-volatility Megaways slot with 117,649 ways to win, expanding wilds, and a galactic theme from Pragmatic Play.
Starz Megaways uses the Big Time Gaming Megaways mechanic licensed by Pragmatic Play, offering up to 117,649 ways to win per spin. The reel set stretches across six columns with variable heights (2–7 rows per reel), creating a grid of gemstones, planets, and blazing sun symbols. The design draws obvious inspiration from popular space slots but stands on its own mechanical merit.
Gameplay is straightforward: no cascades or tumbles. Instead, expanding sticky wilds lock into place during free spins, building multipliers as they accumulate. The Sun wild symbol expands to fill entire reels, and on lucky spins, multiple reels can expand at once. Free spins are triggered by scatters and awarded with a fixed multiplier that climbs as the round progresses, making the bonus the primary route to larger wins.
At 96.48% RTP and high volatility, Starz Megaways targets players who tolerate long dry spells between feature hits. The 10,000× cap is respectable for the Megaways format, though the feature frequency (roughly 1 in 156 spins) means most sessions are spent grinding the base game.
